Remote work has found its way into our homes, often without our spaces being fully prepared for the calm and focus it requires. We carefully design a work corner, choose beautiful objects, good lighting… yet noise slowly creeps in. Concentration becomes harder, and days feel more draining.
This discomfort doesn’t always come from outside. Very often, it’s linked to how sound moves and resonates within a space. Hard surfaces, bare walls, or overly open layouts can turn even a well-designed interior into an acoustically challenging environment.
Understanding acoustics helps explain why certain spaces feel tiring — and how it’s possible to restore a sense of balance and calm without compromising aesthetics. Sound comfort is not about eliminating noise, but about shaping an atmosphere that supports daily life.
